Ms. Sobaski’s Strength and Kindness Memorial Scholarship
An enormous challenge that put my resiliency to the test and confirmed the transforming potential of both strength and kindness has been the driving force behind the path that led me to where I am now. When my grandmother suffered a heart attack four months ago, my family was confronted with an adverse health situation that was completely unforeseen. Overnight, our lives were flipped upside down as we struggled to come to terms with the unpredictability of the situation, the emotional upheaval that it caused, and the huge obstacles that the medical bills presented. In the face of this challenge, strength turned out to be the driving force behind my actions. By taking on tasks that were beyond my years, I became a rock of support for my family. Being able to advocate for my grandmother's healthcare needs while also balancing my schoolwork and my responsibilities as a caregiver became my new reality. There were times when the burden of everything seemed to be too much to bear, and it was a chore that was quite stressful. On the other hand, although I was going through a difficult time, I learned the amazing influence that kindness can have. With unwavering support, understanding, and compassion, our friends, teachers, and neighbors came together to rally around us. The most difficult times of our trip were brightened by their thoughtful actions, whether it was lending an ear to listen, assisting with duties around the house, or delivering words of encouragement.
During this journey, I realized that strength is not just about persevering through adversity; it is also about seeking out and providing kindness to others when they are going through a difficult period. Recognizing that vulnerability may be a catalyst for deeper connections and finding resilience in the support of a community are both important elements. Through this adventure, I gained priceless knowledge. Through this experience, I gained the ability to empathize with others, to show kindness even when I was going through difficult times in my own life, and never undervalue the influence that a good word or gesture can have on the life of another person. I gained a tremendous sense of thankfulness for the resiliency of the human spirit and the beauty of compassion as a result of the journey, even though it was difficult. This event had a profound impact on me, strengthening my will to achieve my objectives while maintaining compassion for the challenges faced by everyone else. This is a monument to the enduring strength that can be found in kindness, as well as the transforming impact that kindness can have when it comes to managing the hurdles that life presents.
